London has been a witness to history for over 2,000 years. It has
seen itself grow from a small trading centre founded by the Romans
and growing to the large Roman town of Londinium. When they
departed Britain in the 4th Century, London went through many
changes until it reached the present day. It was severely damaged
by the Great Fire of London in 1666, its population suffered and
died in great numbers during the Black Death and the Plague. It has
been host to public riots and uprisings. Royalty came, went and
returned again. All of these events have left their mark in the
fabric of London. But many of the reminders of such major events in
London's history are mostly now gone. Well, almost. If you look
hard enough and you know where to go, you can still find those
objects and places that echo the stories of the past. And they do
not mark just the big events of the past. There are also reminders
of individual people whose stories reflect a more human insight of
what life was like in the London of the past. All of the "secret"
and "hidden" objects and places in this book have one thing in
common. Whether they refer to famous events or to more individual
affairs, their stories are fascinating and have the ability to take
us back in time to once again feel a link to those Londoners that
went before us. And finally, all of these places still exist and
can be visited. If you cannot get to London, then you will find
photographs of each of these places within the book.
